*sizzle, sizzle*

Update 5/8: By the Sea finally has a release date! The film will hit theaters November 13, 2015. So long to wait! But...so worth it.

The fruits of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's working honeymoon—they're shooting Jolie-directed, produced, and written By the Sea on a private island in Malta (because when you're newlywed Hollywood royalty, why not?)—are here.

Entertainment Weekly released the first shots from the film, which, according to the outlet, tell the story of "a woman caught in an undertow of passion and rejuvenation while visiting a seaside village with her husband." And it's supposed to be spicy. In other words, art imitating life, right?

The movie is set in 1970s France, according to EW, where Jolie and Pitt are a creative couple growing apart: Jolie plays a former dancer, Pitt an American writer.

The time period was chosen deliberately, Jolie told EW in a statement: "It removes many of the distractions of contemporary life and allows the focus to remain squarely on the emotions that the characters experience in their journey." A gorgeous journey by the looks.
